103 > of < dead angles determination unit
Dead angle determination unit 103 is at least one image of continuous multiple images in temporal sequence by detection process portion 12a detect (identification) to object in than image of at least one image in time series rearward not by detection process portion It is the dead of the dead angle that the object is likely to be present in curved mirror by the spectral discrimination rearward in the case that 12a detections (identification) are arrived Angle image.In other words, dead angle determination unit 103 judges what whether can be seen in curved mirror in continuous image in time series Moving object can become can't see, and will become the spectral discrimination that can't see as dead angle image.
Here, it is said using an example of dead angle determination processing that attached drawing carries out the dead angle determination unit 103 formed in this way It is bright.
Figure 10 is to represent the definition graph of an example of dead angle determination processing that the dead angle determination unit 103 of embodiment 1 carries out.This Outside, pair label identical with the same element labels of Fig. 4 omits detailed description.
Image 50 shown in Fig. 10m, image 50m+1And image 50m+2It is on time to the front of the vehicle during traveling Between Sequentially continuous at the time of tm, moment tm+1And moment tm+2The image taken.In addition, in image 50m, image 50m+1And Image 50m+2Appearing before one's eyes respectively has curved mirror 51m, curved mirror 51m+1And curved mirror 51m+2, in curved mirror 51m, curved mirror 51m+1With And curved mirror 51m+2Further appear before one's eyes someone 60mAnd people 60m+1
In this case, in continuous image 50 in temporal sequencemAnd image 50m+1Curved mirror 51mAnd curved mirror 51m+1 appears before one's eyes the people 60m and people 60 that identified portion 13 recognizesm+1.On the other hand, in image 50m+1Image later 50m+2Curved mirror 51m+2Do not appear before one's eyes out people, unidentified to people in identification part 13.Therefore, dead angle determination unit 103 is by image 50m+2 It is determined as being dead angle image.The reasons why can determine dead angle image to dead angle determination unit 103 using Figure 11 illustrates.
Figure 11 is the definition graph at the dead angle of curved mirror.
In curved mirror, there is also visual angles, and there are dead angle, that is, dead zones.Such as the vehicle at intersection is shown in FIG. 11 2 temporarily cease during moving object 61 as the people for multiplying bicyclem+1It is moved to moving object 61m+2Position, enter Example in the case of the dead zone of curved mirror 72.In this case, the driver of the vehicle 2 during temporarily ceasing can be true Recognize the moving object 61 appeared before one's eyes in curved mirror 71m+1, on the other hand, moving object 61 can not be confirmed in curved mirror 72m+2。 But it even if does not appear before one's eyes out moving object 61 in curved mirror 72m+2, moving object 61m+2It is also existing.Therefore, dead angle judges Portion 103 by being judged as described above, by image 50m+2It is determined as that the moving object as people is likely to be present in curved surface Mirror 51m+2Dead angle dead angle image.
In addition, in the case where dead angle determination unit 103 determined dead angle image, output processing part 102, which is generated and exported, to be made The vehicle control information that vehicle temporarily ceases, until directly or in curved mirror seeing artificial stop from vehicle.In addition, at dead angle After determination unit 103 determined dead angle image, in the case where also not becoming to see people even across certain time, it is determined as Time-out proceeds by dead angle determination processing from initially.It is due to thinking to be determined as time-out:Even across certain time Do not become in the case of seeing people, be present in the moving objects such as the people of the dead zone of curved mirror and enter in family or shop etc., Until what time no matter wait will not become seeing people.
Further, at least two images continuous in temporal sequence that dead angle determination unit 103 can also be in multiple images The different object of middle size be detected processing unit 12a detection (identification) to, than at least two images in time series rearward Objects in images be not detected in the case that processing unit 12a detection (identification) arrives, by the spectral discrimination rearward for it is above-mentioned extremely Angle image.Such as when being illustrated using Figure 10, in image 50m+1In people 60 in the curved mirror appeared before one's eyesm+1Size be than Forward image 50 in time seriesmIn the curved mirror 51 appeared before one's eyesmInterior people 60mSize it is big.This means that people 60 is approaching Intersection.Also, than image 50m+1Image 50 in time series rearwardm+2Curved mirror 51m+2In do not appear before one's eyes someone. This means that people 60 enters the dead angle near intersection.Therefore, dead angle determination unit 103 is based in image 50m+1In appear before one's eyes People 60 in curved mirrorm+1Size and image 50 forward in time seriesmIn the curved mirror 51 appeared before one's eyesmInterior people 60m's The comparison result of size and image 50m+2In the presence or absence of people 60, can be by image 50m+2It is determined as being dead angle image.As a result, In people 60 far from intersection and in the case of entering dead angle, the image that people 60 does not appear before one's eyes in curved mirror is not judged as extremely Angle image, therefore, it is possible to inhibit to occur useless action that is despite safety but making vehicle stopping etc..
102 > of < output processing parts
The size for the object that output processing part 102 is calculated based on calculation section 101 generates the drive supporting information of vehicle, defeated Go out generated drive supporting information.Drive supporting information is according to corresponding with continuous at least two image of time series respectively The change information of the respective size of object generate, and exported.Here, drive supporting information is included in change information Represent size it is widened in the case of for make vehicle deceleration information and for vehicle far from object direction on move At least one of information.In addition, drive supporting information be included in change information represent size it is widened in the case of be used for The information for travelling vehicle after object is far from vehicle.In addition, drive supporting information is either the control of the movement of vehicle Command information processed or be prompted to vehicle occupant prompt message.
Figure 12 is the figure of an example that the function for the output processing part 102 for representing embodiment 1 is formed.
In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 12, output processing part 102 has risk prediction portion 1031, information generation unit 1032 and information output part 1033.
Size of the risk prediction portion 1031 based on the object calculated by calculation section 101, prediction vehicle hold state is unchangeably The danger predicted during traveling.The danger either danger level or dangerous content (such as contact, collision, Be involved in and (involve) etc.).Risk prediction portion 1031 according to with the ruler of the corresponding object of continuous at least two image of time series Very little variable quantity judges danger level.Here, as an example, danger level can be predicted according to the variable quantity of the size of object This case illustrates.
Figure 13 is the schematic diagram for the variable quantity for representing the dimension of object in Fig. 9 (b).In addition, pair similary with (b) of Fig. 9 Element mark identical label, omit detailed description.Schematically illustrate in fig. 13 as zoom in or out to by The people 60 ' of object, the people 60 ' to appear before one's eyes in the curved mirror for the reference dimension that dimension of object calculation section 1012 calculatesn+1And people 60′n+2
As shown in figure 13, risk prediction portion 1031 is from people 60 ', people 60 'n+1And people 60 'n+2Size become larger successively understand The people is close to curved mirror 51 i.e. close to intersection.Also, risk prediction portion 1031 is in people 60 ', people 60 'n+1And People 60 'n+2Size variable quantity it is big when, it is known that the people is big close to the speed and velocity variations of curved mirror 51, therefore, It can be determined that danger level is high.It is, as people 60 ', people 60 'n+1And people 60 'n+2Size variable quantity be more than threshold value when, It can be judged as that the people rapidly touches close to there are the intersection of curved mirror 51, with carrying the vehicle of information processing unit 10 The possibility hit or contacted is high.In this way, risk prediction portion 1031 can predict danger according to the variable quantity of the size of object Degree.
The size for the object that information generation unit 1032 is calculated based on calculation section 101 generates the drive supporting information of vehicle.Letter The drive supporting information of vehicle can also be generated according to the size of object by ceasing generating unit 1032.For example, information generation unit 1032 It can be according to the change information next life of the respective size of object corresponding with continuous at least two image in temporal sequence respectively Into drive supporting information.In addition, information generation unit 1032 can also on the basis of the size of object the also state based on vehicle To generate the drive supporting information of vehicle.
In addition, information generation unit 1032 can also be according to the variation under the situation advanced by vehicle towards the direction of curved mirror The danger of information prediction generates drive supporting information.Information generation unit 1032 can also be based on pre- by risk prediction portion 1031 The danger measured generates vehicle control information.
In addition, information generation unit 1032 can also generate the information of danger level for representing to be predicted by risk prediction portion 1031 It is used as drive supporting information.For example, information generation unit 1032 can also generate expression by risk prediction portion 1031 according to by The information of the danger level of the variable quantity judgement of the size of the corresponding object of continuous at least two image of time series, is used as and drives Sail support information.
In addition, information generation unit 1032 can also the judgement based on the dead angle image of dead angle determination unit 103 as a result, generation make The vehicle control information that vehicle temporarily ceases.Specifically, information generation unit 1032 can also be continuous more in temporal sequence In at least one of a image image by detection process portion 12a detection (identification) to object than at least one image when Between be not detected in image in sequence rearward in the case that processing unit 12a detections (identification) arrive, generation drive supporting information.Separately Outside, size is different at least two images continuous in temporal sequence that information generation unit 1032 can also be in multiple images Object be detected processing unit 12a detection (identification) to, in the objects in images than at least two images in time series rearward In the case that detected processing unit 12a detections (identification) are arrived, drive supporting information is generated.
Information output part 1033 exports the drive supporting information generated by information generation unit 1032.
Hereinafter, it is illustrated using an example that the output that attached drawing carries out the output processing part 102 formed in this way is handled.
